It was a pleasure to join Spokane pastor Jason Jones and Todd Gossett on their podcast, Thoughtfoolery. They are thinking about how their congregation can help people and how to respond to members of their broader community who are being recruited into hate and conspiracy theories.
We talked about boundaries and self-care; solidarity with impacted communities; prevention and inoculation against conspiracy theories and hate; the psychological needs that attract people to hate groups, as well as their political dimensions; and how to be an anchor to reality for people on the brink. They even asked me about Erich Fromm!
